This book looks at the ecological stress on cities and engages with
challenges of reducing vulnerabilities and risks of pollution on
the health, well-being and livelihoods of people living in
developing countries. Cities are the world's highest energy
consumers and the biggest producers of toxic wastes and pollutants.
With an emphasis on the environmental issues facing the city of
Delhi, the volume focuses on steps to preserve and manage the
city's urban green spaces. It explores the concept of urban green
spaces and their economic, social, health, and psychological
significance in cities. Drawing from their fieldwork and research
in Delhi, the authors identify the sources of pollution in the city
and access the role of urban green spaces in countering adverse
effects. They further examine the relationship between green spaces
and social and economic development, urban health, and urban
governance. They highlight the good practices followed by other
global cities. The volume also offers suggestions and policy
recommendations to reverse and recover ecological balance in
cities. This book will be of interest to students and researchers
of environment and ecology, public health, urban planning and
governance, development studies, urban geography, urban sociology,
resource management and health economics. It will also be useful
for policy makers, and NGOs working in the areas of sustainability,
urban planning and management and environmental preservation.
